Anthony Kim‘s incredible victory at LIV Golf Adelaide was his first professional win in nearly 16 years. The moment has ignited widespread admiration across the golf community and beyond.
Kim, who recently signed with 4Aces GC, fired a final-round 9-under 63, erasing a five-shot deficit to outpace LIV Golf superstars Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau by three strokes. The former PGA Tour and Ryder Cup star’s rise from the ashes has been hailed as one of the game’s greatest comeback stories. DeChambeau, who finished in the final group alongside Kim and Rahm, was among the first to react on the course. He told Kim, while shaking his hand and hugging him, “Great job, man. What a story… Proud of you.”
The congratulations and outpouring of support for Kim, however, went far beyond the LIV Golf roster. Sports stars from all over the world have posted on social media to express admiration for Kim’s outstanding achievement.
European Ryder Cup captain and former World No. 1 Luke Donald posted about the emotional victory on X.
